SHIELD now available for pre-order. Nothing to do with the Avengers

Team NVIDIA has announced that Project SHIELD is no longer just a project and now you can pre-order the thing for your own very shortly. The open platform device holds a lot of promise, not the least of which being its ability to stream games remotely. The hardware specs are finalized and we’ve got them below – check it out:

The unit also spells a ramp up for NVIDIA’s own TegraZone games, with the system shipping along side five new titles, two of which from uber-dev Double Fine Productions.

Broken Age, Double Fine Productions

Costume Quest, Double Fine Productions

Flyhunter: Origins, Steel Wool Games

Skiing Fred, Dedalord Games

Chuck’s Challenge 3D, Niffler

The system ships right next month for $349, and you can pick it up from Newegg, Gamestop, Micro Center and Canada Computers. It’s a whole lot of hardware – it’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out. To get caught up on all things SHIELD, you can check out their newly-launched blogs below:
